Kolej Tuanku Ja'afar

[EduCativ]

We are one of the region’s premier international schools for students aged 3 to 19 years. We provide boarding from the age of 11 and enjoy a diverse student population, with students from over 20 different countries across Asia, Europe, Australia, and Africa. In Secondary School, we have established ourselves over 20 years as one of the leading British-style, co-educational boarding schools in Malaysia, with over 700 secondary students aged 11 to 19. In September 2013, we opened our state-of-the-art Primary School, which currently has 200 students.
KTJ is proud to be spread across over 80 acres of beautiful Malaysian countryside, where we accommodate our students and provide an excellent range of facilities. We are a registered charity, so all proceeds are channeled back into the school, which is why we can offer outstanding facilities, dedicated teachers, and exceptional education. Students at KTJ achieve superb examination grades while being able to undertake a wide range of sporting and extra-curricular activities. They are also renowned for their independence and confidence, qualities that stand them in good stead as they progress to higher education anywhere in the world. KTJ also accepts day students, who do not board, and we have a significant number of day students from the surrounding area.
KTJ Primary and Secondary is an outstanding school that offers a superb experience to the 830 students here. Academic excellence is an essential component of a good school. KTJ achieves these, not least, due to the expertise and dedication of the highly qualified staff.
KTJ offers a great experience to young people whose horizons are broadened in such a healthy, supportive, and academically challenging environment. We promote an international outlook that will have a lasting benefit to the students. The commitment to pastoral care and academic progress by the highly experienced boarding staff ensures that all students are supported and encouraged throughout their time here.
KTJ aspires to provide a high-quality primary and secondary education for both Malaysian and international students. There are around 20 different nationalities at KTJ, with Malaysian, Indonesian, and Korean being the largest of these. We offer equal opportunities for all to benefit from excellent teaching, plentiful resources, and individual learning experiences in a caring, secure, and stimulating British-style co-educational school, with boarding from the age of 11.
Our holistic education is intended to encourage the development of independent and well-balanced individuals, helping them to become responsible citizens who are aware of global issues. We encourage students to be self-disciplined and to maximize their potential inside the classroom and in a wide range of artistic, sporting, and cultural activities.
